I have been trying to install the Sybase SQL Server using the instructions from the NeXT archives at Purdue and the (incredibly wrong) on-line documentation. The Sybase installation comes in three parts. First, CreateMaster script calls "buildmaster" builds a master database, default in /usr/sybase/database/d_master. Then the CreateMaster script does a series of isql -Usa -P < installmaster2 isql -Usa -P < installmaster3 which means do this series of isql commands, as the user "system adminstrator" (-Usa) with no password (-P). None of this works. All fail with "Login failed". So, none of the baby dbs are built, so "isql" cannot be used at all. I need this fixed as soon as possible...it is for a course I'm teaching in biological computing, and we were supposed to have started Friday. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please respond by e-mail if you have any ideas, clues, etc. as to how to fix this. dan davison davison@uh.edu DAVISON@UHOU (BITNET) dbd@dna.bchs.uh.edu (NeXTMail) <---use this as the campus mail machine is having problems right now. -- dr. dan davison/dept. of biochemical and biophysical sciences/univ. of Houston/4800 Calhoun/Houston,TX 77054-5500/davison@uh.edu/DAVISON@UHOU "Mars is essentially in the same orbit...somewhat the same distance from the sun, which is very important.
